Two birds with one stone (or needle?)

Thanks to my bright idea of moving my floor lamp into the front lounge room, I've been able to enjoy my recent habit of watching TV with hubby AND make progress on some of my hand sewing. That's how I caught up with my hexagons the other week.

So the last few days I've been concentrating on my Birdie Stitches blocks. I've now finished October and December.

I haven't done November as it is based around Thanksgiving, and being an Australian, this means nothing to me. I've also rearranged the block order because a lot of them match up with the Northern Hemisphere seasons and I want them to match ours. This means that my 'missing' month may not be November. Hoping that I can work with hubby to design an extra block and then it will be all ready to put together. I had decided that I wanted to finish these blocks (minus November) this year, and I put the star on the tree last night!

I'm not planning on starting any BOMs next year, but I have signed up for the Free Motion Quilt Challenge, which is a once a month task, so that should be enough to keep me busy. I've still got all those Civil War blocks to catch up on too!!!

Last week I received my December hexies, I just kept forgetting to photograph them. I love the cute little owls, and the sunflowers actually remind me of some underwear I used to own, would you believe!! LOL

About Me

I'm currently a stay at home mum to my 1 year old, and am trying to decide if I have more time to craft now, or when I was working full time.
This blog is a log of what I make, and what I sell.
If you make anything from my tutorials or patterns, I'd love to see photos. You can post them on my Facebook Page
